Tiny but Mighty: The Fascinating World of Chihuahuas If you've ever had the pleasure of owning a Chihuahua, you already know they’re intelligent, loving, and fiercely loyal—despite their tiny size! But did you know these so-called "rat dogs" have a history that dates back to the Aztecs? Or that royalty once used them as foot warmers? This week on Fur Real , I’m joined by Linda Hempler, founder of Chi’s Chi’s and Me , to dive into everything Chihuahua. We’ll uncover the origins of the world's smallest dog breed, the meaning behind their name, and why these pint-sized pups are often misunderstood. Linda’s personal journey with Chihuahuas offers eye-opening insights into their care, behavior, and unique charm. So, whether you’re a proud Chihuahua parent or just curious about these feisty little companions, get ready to learn why the best things truly come in small packages! www.furrealpodcast.com www.chichisandme.com ig@thefurrealpodcast ig@markakyle ig@chichicandme fb The Fur Real Podcast fb Mark A Kyle fb ChiChis And Me tik tok @thefurrealpodcast @chichisandme Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!
